In Response To: [Weapons] Ellis sliding-lock repeating flintlock rifles ()

Sounds like the 16-shot Belton gun that was proposed to Congress. Its single barrel was loaded like a roman candle with each successive charge atop another. The lock slid back along a track for each shot. Why didn't they just buy the AK-47 instead?
